Yo listen up here’s a story
About a little girl that lives in a furry world
And all day and all night and everything she sees
Is just furry like her inside and outside

    I don’t understand how people can get by with disabling JS? Like aren’t 90% of modern website just straight up useless without it?

      Honestly, if a site breaks and I have to click to either enable JS or close the tab, many times I just realize I didn’t really care enough and close the tab.

    i think it’s better then waiting for the captcha to load then pressing it and then waiting more for it to confirm

      Fun fact, if recaptcha experiences any error it just feeds you more captchas forever.

      You’re better off refreshing after you complete one and aren’t authenticated.

        Another fun fact: most captchas, including recaptcha, are used to train AI. Some of the puzzle it will know the solution to (which is what it uses to verify that you’re not a bot), and the rest it won’t know the solution to and uses it to train AI. If you train your eye a bit you can eventually make pretty good guesses as to which part is which, and then go on to give the AI training part of the captcha wrong answers. There’s something satisfying to knowingly giving the captcha a wrong answer and get the green check mark anyway, pointing a middle finger at the people who thought they could get free AI training from you.

          I hear what you are saying, and in today’s climate I probably wouldn’t strongly disagree… But I would much rather there be a crowd-sourced exchange of services training AI instead of completely ripping off work done by real people without any permission.

            But that second part is what’s happening. You aren’t getting any compensation for contributing to the training (and no, merely accessing the site doesn’t count), and that data is kept proprietary by Google, not released to the public domain.

      there is a prototype based on timing when you reload the page (like, refresh this page manually 7 seconds from now and I’ll let you through), but idk how far along it is
